	🦇 3:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Here are some bat alternatives: (㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ) 𓆪 /\|\ ^._.^ /\|\
	🦇 3:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:32 𓆩𓆪 Whoops, lost part of one.
	🦇 3:35pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Temporary Secretary" by "Paul McCartney" The opening of this always makes me think it's a Kraftwerk track.
	3:36pm A.J. MACHETE: It's always DARK before the dawn of a new year. Good hereafter Julie and all. Just stopping by to say hi. Gotta go shopping before everything closes for the next day. I have no plans this year, but just the same, hope everyone has fun tonight.

	3:39pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Julie @3:37 You'll be playing in my ears during my otherwise tedious activities.
	🦇 3:40pm Julie: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:39 happy to help however I can

	🦇 4:10pm Julie: hiya TDK!
	4:10pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "In Bluer Skies" by "Echo & the Bunnymen" This album blew me away when I first heard it. So intense.
	🦇 4:11pm Dan S: I'm back. Caught the last of the mic break. If I lived in your neighborhood, Julie, I'd bring you some food. But I'm sure you can find some place making deliveries this evening. :-)
	🦇 4:13pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @4:11 Chinese is usually a good bet.
	🦇 4:21pm Julie: I used to live on 42nd street you couldn't do ANYTHING over there on NYE
	🦇 4:23pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Princesse Mousse" by "Origan" from discogs: What drives their minds is mostly love, dreams and giving up
	🦇 4:23pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @4:21 Yeah, you'd have to pay me Big Bucks to get anywhere close to Times Square on NYE.
	🦇 4:25pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @4:23 it's a lot but it feels like something everyone should do once. We were right on 42nd (way west) but we had to walk like 10 blocks down to cross over
	4:31pm bigplanetnoise: Happy New Year, Joolz!!!
	4:31pm Roberto: Happy Nu Yeerz, Joolz!
	🦇 4:32pm Julie: hi BPN & Roberto! Happy new year!
	🦇 4:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: One time years ago, I brought my ice skates along and went skating in Central Park on New Year's Eve afternoon. Then ran the midnight 5k in the park. That was a good time.
	🦇 4:38pm Julie: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @4:37 ooh that's fun
	🦇 4:40pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Transmission" by "Susan and the Surftones" Weirdly nice!
	🦇 4:40pm he's Crafty: ↳ Song: "Transmission" by "Susan and the Surftones" digging this too
	4:44pm Roberto: Eh, we'll still be here. It's probably gonna suck, but we'll be here for it.
	4:44pm Roberto: ↳ bigplanetnoise @4:31 Oh snap you call her Joolz too!
	🦇 4:46pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @4:44 I like it better than Jules which is what it's been my whole life.
	4:46pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Dollar Days" by "David Bowie" Dear gawd, David's been gone almost 9 years.
	🦇 4:47pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @4:46 he broke it all. He left us in tatters
	🦇 4:47pm Dan S: Best Wishes for us all in 2025. Good health and happiness. Even though I feel like going out and screaming: "2025! Incoming! Hit the deck!" I'll restrain myself, though.
	🦇 4:48pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @4:47 that's absolutely how it feels
	🦇 4:49pm Dan S: BTW, I'm listening and occasionally looking at the comments board while trying to exercise along with a YouTube video. :)
	4:51pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Auld Lang Syne" by "Endless White" omg I love this
	4:51pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Auld Lang Syne" by "Endless White" Happy Emo New Year lolz
	🦇 4:53pm he's Crafty: ↳ Dan S @4:49 I love having WFMU & friends as accompaniment while getting in my morning jazzercize
	4:54pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Blackbird" by "Beyoncé" This kinda slaps.
	🦇 4:55pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Blackbird" by "Beyoncé" Most excellent cover!
	4:56pm Roberto: Who's Cowboy Carter tho? Wouldn't she be Cowgirl Knowles-Carter? So confusing.
	🦇 4:57pm egould: ↳ Song: "Blackbird" by "Beyoncé" I heard this song on a football game last week. Good singer.
	🦇 4:57pm Julie: hi egould! yes she has a fantastic voice
	🦇 4:59pm egould: Hi Julie! Happy New Year! Thanks for all the great music this year.
	🦇 5:02pm egould: And a heartfelt chirpity chirp chirp to all the birds!
	5:07pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @4:56 Is Jay-Z CC and the album's named after him?
	5:09pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Strobo Acceleration" by "Stereolab" This album is so great. It was like the best turn of the century slab, for me.
	🦇 5:11pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @5:07 I think it's just a concept, she's not necessarily referring to herself
	🦇 5:12pm he's Crafty: ↳ Song: "Reminds Me of You (piano demo)" by "Elton John" ⭐🥰❤
	5:12pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @5:11 On that note, RIP President Carter.
	🦇 5:12pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @5:12 what a ilfe
	5:14pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @5:12 This pissant country couldn't stand the idea of a genuinely good person being in charge.
	🦇 5:15pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @5:14 they didn't know what they had
	5:20pm Alex In Downers Grove: Rhiannon Giddens plays banjo on the Beyoncé tune
	5:21pm TDK60: I don't care about Halftime Music Controversies, nor football! There, I said it.
	5:22pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @5:15 And those same types who said he wasn't tough enough on Russia are now begging Russia to infiltrate our government.
	🦇 5:23pm egould: Let us gaze upon the shoes.
	5:24pm luka: hello dark 1s. losing track of time over a jigsaw puzzle.
	5:24pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @5:22 To all this, I say FEH! Feh, I say!
	🦇 5:24pm Julie: ↳ TDK60 @5:21 haha it wasn't just that, overall she's gotten a lot of crap for that album. I don't know if other genres are as gatekeepy as country is. I remember how upset people were when Olivia -- an English Aussie -- won a bunch of country awards in the 70s.
	5:24pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @5:20 Rhiannon is so cool! Would love to hear those 2 talk about music
	🦇 5:24pm Julie: hi luka!
	5:25pm Asheville Jon: Julie! BIRDS!! Hello!!!
	🦇 5:26pm Julie: hi asheville jon!
	5:26pm TDK60: ↳ egould @5:23 Hello egould. At an open mic recently a guitarist played 2 instrumentals, called them "shoegaze." They had no pedals. I went up him afterward, said "No pedals?"
	🦇 5:27pm Julie: you gotta have the pedals! What else you gonna gaze at?
	5:28pm TDK60: ↳ Julie @5:24 Yeah, gatekeepers at the Borders of the Genre. Might there also be racism involved in this case? I'm a bit neutral on Beyonce. Rhiannon Giddens is great.
	🦇 5:28pm egould: ↳ Julie @5:27 Truth.
	5:29pm TDK60: ↳ Julie @5:27 He laughed.
	5:30pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Due to my timezone 2025 arrived half an hour ago - so Happy New Year everyone!
	🦇 5:30pm egould: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:30 Happy New Year!
	5:31pm TDK60: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:30 Cha Cha! Happy '25. You're in Finland?
	🦇 5:31pm Julie: hiya Cha Cha! Happy new year!
	5:31pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ egould @5:30 Hi egould, an enjoyable 2025 to you
	🦇 5:31pm he's Crafty: Thank you Julie! Thank you everybody! Happy new year! 🎆🎇 Be safe out on them streets if you dare. I'll be in bed by around 9central to wake up in time to feed the cats in the morning anyway 🤣
	5:32pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ TDK60 @5:31 Hey TDK and a happy 2025, yes, Finland indeed
	🦇 5:32pm Julie: thanks for dropping by he's Crafty!
	🦇 5:32pm Bas NL: Happy New Year Cha Cha! The Netherlands is up for 2025 in half an hour..
	5:34pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @5:31 Happy new Year Julie and so many thanks for not only the last show of 2024 but also all the ones that year. THings like Xmas, new year, and other festivities become bearable to a BahHumbug-person that I am thanks to music you play and the good people chatting.
	🦇 5:35pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:34 I'm so glad!
	5:36pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Bas NL @5:32 Happy New Year Bas, the novelty of 2025 is yet to come your way, just wait 24 minutes ;)
	🦇 5:36pm egould: ↳ Julie @5:27 On the other hand, a guitar player could be like Billy Zoom and make eye contact with the crowd and smile. What a dude.
	🦇 5:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Reminds Me of You (piano demo)" by "Elton John" I heard Elton got a treadmill for his pet rabbit for Christmas. It's a little fit bunny.
	5:39pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ egould @5:36 I have never gotten into X's albums, but for me they are the star of Decline of the Western Civilazation (the first of course) - sure there is a lot of exciting early hardcore, but X's performances are rather charismatic on that movie.
	5:40pm A2B: Hi Julie & the birds! New Years Blessings to all fellow souls! Gelukkig nieuwjaar, Bas! 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆 Been listening in since 15 minutes into start time and really loving the selections here!
	🦇 5:40pm Julie: hiya A2B! Thanks so much!
	🦇 5:40pm egould: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:39 They were pros among amateurs. A little older than the hXc groups.
	5:41pm A2B: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:39 Ha! Good one!
	5:41pm Roberto: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:39 ...this ceiling infied...
	🦇 5:41pm Bas NL: ↳ A2B @5:40 Jij ook een heel fijn nieuwjaar, A2B!
	5:42pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ egould @5:40 Pros maybe, but in a good way. Agewise, Lee Ving of Fear was no young man at the time either.
	🦇 5:42pm egould: ↳ Song: "Friday" by "Joe Jackson" Oh yes!
	5:43pm Doug Schulkind: Happy New Year, Julie. Thanks for another year of fab radio!
	🦇 5:44pm Julie: hiya Doug! Happy New Year!
	5:46pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Why did I wait until 2024 to listen to this Joe Jackson album (or any from him for that matter!) - then again I bought Moody Blues' Days of Future Passed in 1996 and gave it its first spin around the pandemic years. I. Am. S-l-o-w.
	🦇 5:47pm egould: ↳ Song: "Pages Turn" by "28th Day" Jangly 80’s! This is sooooo gooood.
	🦇 5:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Dandy" by "Les Manteez" I was feeding the monsters and missed this! I thought efd and I were the only ones with this record! I had to enter it into Discogs on my own!
	5:48pm A2B: ↳ Bas NL @5:41 Danken!
	5:52pm ?: Lovely!!
	5:52pm John sweeden: Great show!!
	🦇 5:52pm Julie: thanks John Sweeden!
	5:53pm A2B: ↳ Julie @5:27 About that non-pedal issue: Maybe they were using one of those effects filtering consoles?
	5:54pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Song: "The Modern Nothingness" by "Viola" Oh my! I really have to listen to this again, as I was on the phone when this was playing. I only remember Viola from them opening for Cranes in 2004. The record label If Society organized the gig and I got 5 tickets altogether as 5 written text codes via SMS. The Motorola I had was ancient even then, and it managed to delete THAT message. Thankfully they sent it again. Good times
	🦇 5:55pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:54 is it VYE-OLA or VEE-OLA? do you recall?
	🦇 5:55pm egould: This set is melting my ears into little puddles of joy.
	🦇 5:56pm Julie: yay!!
	5:56pm Stanley: Hi Julie. I've been listening from the start but am a bit flaked out. It's heading towards midnight here but I doubt I will see it. I've never really 'got' New Year's Eve, even when I used to spend it with friends. 'Out with the old. In with the old' is what I say! The only thing meaningful for me is that it feels that we turn a corner, what with the daylight hours and heading towards spring. As for resolutions, ha! I once saw a joke in Private Eye - two fellas at a NYE party. drink in hand etc. Goes like this - fella says "Have you made any resolutions?", the other says: "You know, cut down on the carbs and booze, do a bit more exercise..." First fella: " Haha. me neither" Hi Handy.
	5:57pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Stardust" by "The Asteroid No.4" GBV vibes here for sure
	5:57pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @5:55 I would say veeola (but the vee part is a bit short). It can be a Finnish (female first)name as well
	5:58pm Bobby: ↳ Song: "Stardust" by "The Asteroid No.4" I remember these guys, they used to be in Philly and played a bunch of shows in the late 90s
	5:58pm Asheville Jon: YAY BIRDS!!!!
	5:59pm Roberto: January 1st, 1979: a moderate earthquake strikes the San Fernando Valley. That's all I remember about New Year's '79.
	🦇 5:59pm Dan S: Birdie is sounding off!
	6:00pm TDK60: Bas - Gelukkig nieuwjaar, Feliz año nuevo, Happy new year ~ ~
	🦇 6:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Stanley @5:56 Aye, Stanley!
	🦇 6:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:57 We're putting out snacks, and the ice is made. Get over here, you!
	6:01pm Stanley: @Handy Haversack Slainte Handy raises chocolate and orange imperial stout
	🦇 6:01pm Julie: party at Handy's?
	6:02pm A2B: Currently watching Paris New Years celebration!
	🦇 6:02pm Julie: Hi Stanley & Bobby!
	🦇 6:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Stanley @6:01 Dewar's and soda back your way! Slainte, Stanley!
	🦇 6:02pm Bas NL: Yeay!!!! Happy 2025 everybody!!!!
	6:03pm Philippe: Early happy new year, all!
	🦇 6:03pm egould: Let’s all crash Handy’s party. I’ll bring a handle of Tito’s though.
	6:03pm TDK60: ↳ Stanley @6:01 Hi Stanley. There's Handy behind the bar---
	🦇 6:03pm Julie: hi Phillippe!
	🦇 6:03pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Percocet" by "Valentine & The Regard" “I scrolled through your Tumbler” would be lyrics that could not make any sense before the 21st Century
	🦇 6:04pm egould: ↳ Bas NL @6:02 Happy New Year!
	🦇 6:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @6:03 That'll do nicely.
	6:04pm A2B: ↳ Bas NL @6:02 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
	🦇 6:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bas NL @6:02 Happy New Year, Bas! Ave!
	6:04pm adamdoesit: Happy new year, Julie and batfolk! May this be your darkest night (unless you want it darker). Handles, here's a daiquiri in your your eye (uiri?)!
	6:05pm TDK60: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:03 Mxter B.
	6:05pm Stanley: @TDK60 Teedy! And well stocked it is too. Happy New Year my friend
	🦇 6:05pm Julie: happy new year European folks!
	🦇 6:05pm Julie: hiya adam!
	🦇 6:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "30mg of Valium" by "Shallow" frinkiac.com...
	🦇 6:06pm egould: ↳ Song: "30mg of Valium" by "Shallow" Nice.
	🦇 6:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ adamdoesit @6:04 Cheers, Adam!
	6:08pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Percocet" by "Valentine & The Regard" Somehow reminded me of "Ms. Jackson". A mashup in the making!
	6:10pm Bobby: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:06 One of these for every occasion or activity
	6:11pm Bobby: ↳ Bobby @6:10 I mean the links not the pills
	🦇 6:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bobby @6:11 Stop -- you're both right!
	🦇 6:12pm Bas NL: Thanks TDK, egould, Handy! Happy champies all! Ohh and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody made number 1 again in our yearly Top 2000.
	🦇 6:12pm egould: Gimme’ drugs… youtu.be...
	6:15pm Hunterian: ↳ Bobby @6:10 Excellent! (either way)
	🦇 6:17pm Aitch: Hey Julie and crew, HNY from 2025
	6:17pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Amphetamine Logic" by "The Sisters of Mercy" Didn't they just finish their farewell tour recently?
	🦇 6:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Amphetamine Logic" by "The Sisters of Mercy" K8 just walked in and said "this song is about drugs?"
	🦇 6:18pm egould: ↳ Song: "Amphetamine Logic" by "The Sisters of Mercy" If you’re finding amphetamine logic, you’re not doing enough.
	🦇 6:18pm Aitch: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:17 Had some before singing it seems
	🦇 6:18pm Julie: hiya Aitch!
	🦇 6:18pm egould: ↳ Aitch @6:17 Happy New Year Aitch!
	🦇 6:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Julie @6:18 AitchNY back to you, Aitch!
	🦇 6:20pm Handy Haversack: In somewhat keeping with the theme, Julie: weareweaksignal.bandcamp.com...
	6:21pm A2B: ↳ Aitch @6:17 Good New Years Day to ya, Aitch! Saw the Sydney celebrations on the YouTubies this morning!
	6:21pm Hunterian: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:19 Well done, HH 👏👏
	🦇 6:22pm Midge: Hi Julie and all! I've been listening whilst running errands and now I'm home for the rest.
	🦇 6:22pm Julie: hiya Midge!
	🦇 6:23pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Lithium" by "Nirvana" aw yiss Lithium!
	6:23pm Marshland: Hi Julie, thanks for all the shows in 2024, always a great listen :)
	🦇 6:24pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Lithium" by "Nirvana" Oh yes, Lithium.. ;)
	🦇 6:24pm Julie: thank you Marshland!
	🦇 6:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @6:23 Somehow only a dozen clicky-stars!
	6:25pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Lithium" by "Nirvana" Nirvana's best song. Fight me.
	🦇 6:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ adamdoesit @6:25 Such a great scream.
	6:28pm Jeff Moore: Hey, Julie! Thanks for being here to accompany us through yet another awkward transitional-feeling time. (I've been listening, but not chit-chatting on the board)
	6:28pm 21: Happy New Julie! Best wishes for 2025.
	🦇 6:28pm egould: There was a time Kurt and I had the same drug dealer. Now, I wouldn’t even know where to buy drugs.
	🦇 6:30pm Julie: Hiya Jeff! Happy new year!
	6:30pm A2B: ↳ Jeff Moore @6:28 I won't argue with you about that, but "Breed" is my personal choice as their best.
	🦇 6:31pm Julie: hi 21!
	6:34pm A2B: ↳ Song: "300 Mg Wellbutrin (ft. Kristina Marie)" by "DÉVÅZ" Shades of Evanesence here.
	🦇 6:35pm egould: ↳ Song: "gabapentin" by "merriam webster" Good band name.
	6:38pm rf: ah, drugs
	🦇 6:38pm Julie: heya rf
	6:39pm rf: Hi Julie! Best to you and the birds in 2025. Thanks for the great music.
	🦇 6:40pm Julie: thanks for listening rf!
	6:41pm WR: Hello Julie and folks. Have had the stream playing while sorting and stacking stuff. Had no idea this hour has been drug focused. I've reached the stage where i resentfully accept prescribed and have no time for recreational or self medicating. I do have time to express how much I appreciate the WFMU DJs and the WFMU playlist playmates. Helped take the sting out of the passing year. Look forward to more in the future. Happy New Year!
	🦇 6:41pm Julie: hiya WR! happy new year!
	6:42pm Philippe: We are getting a strong thunderstorm with hail. On December 31. In Annapolis. Yikes
	🦇 6:43pm egould: ↳ WR @6:41 Happy New Year!
	🦇 6:44pm Bas NL: ↳ WR @6:41 Have a great 2025 WR!
	6:46pm Bobby: ↳ WR @6:41 See you around WR!
	🦇 6:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Celexa" by "Pizza Crunch" Had to look that one up. It's an SSRI.
	6:48pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Oh, before I forget: what a good way to continue NYE celebrations than to listen the 1967 Top Gear NYE show. Why this particular episode is especially worth a listen is because it has the last Pink Floyd session with Syd Barrett. Yes, it is also on the recent box, but this private recording has the best quality as of now unless someone takes their time machine for a trip and prevents the master being wiped by BBC. The link archive.org...
	6:49pm Roberto: I left the room for a few minutes and everything went pharmaceutical!
	6:50pm Roberto: Is this set your medication regimen for '25?
	🦇 6:50pm Dan S: I've been away most of the last hour. So, it's songs about the products from our pharma friends. Different.
	🦇 6:50pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @6:50 every single one HAHA
	6:51pm A2B: Now watching London festivities!
	6:51pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @6:50 Sounds like you're all set.
	🦇 6:52pm Dan S: ↳ Roberto @6:50 We can think of it as aspirational.
	🦇 6:53pm egould: Thanks Julie. Happy New Year to you, your birdies, and everyone listening.
	🦇 6:53pm Julie: Happy New Year everyone! see ya in '25
	6:54pm Roberto: Happy medicated New Year, all! Baiiiiiiii
	6:54pm adamdoesit: Julie, I wish (for me) that you were on all night; but more than that I wish you a happy, healthy, and bird-filled new year!
	🦇 6:54pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Mat's Prozac" by "Mice starring Julianne Regan" Good old Prozac. Is anyone still taking that one, or is it too old-school?
	🦇 6:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie! Another Dark Night Year -- getting us ready for the next! Happiest of New Year wishes, all!
	6:55pm TDK60: Thanks, DJ Julie. Best for '25.
	6:55pm WR: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @6:48 thank you for the link.
	6:56pm Hunterian: Most seasonally appropriate set ever, Julie! Happy New Year to all, and Happy Dryuary to those who celebrate! 🤪
	6:56pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: You folks in USA and UK still ain't seen nothin' yet - at least 2025! Let it be a healthy and enjoyable one for you all!
	🦇 6:56pm Bas NL: Thanks Julie! Fantastic old year's finish! Happy New Year all!
	6:56pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ WR @6:55 My pleasure, enjoy!

	🦇 4:25pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @4:23 it's a lot but it feels like something everyone should do once. We were right on 42nd (way west) but we had to walk like 10 blocks down to cross over

	4:31pm Roberto: Happy Nu Yeerz, Joolz!
	🦇 4:32pm Julie: hi BPN & Roberto! Happy new year!

	4:56pm Roberto: Who's Cowboy Carter tho? Wouldn't she be Cowgirl Knowles-Carter? So confusing.

	5:07pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @4:56 Is Jay-Z CC and the album's named after him?
	5:09pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Strobo Acceleration" by "Stereolab" This album is so great. It was like the best turn of the century slab, for me.
	🦇 5:11pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @5:07 I think it's just a concept, she's not necessarily referring to herself
	🦇 5:12pm he's Crafty: ↳ Song: "Reminds Me of You (piano demo)" by "Elton John" ⭐🥰❤
	5:12pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @5:11 On that note, RIP President Carter.
	🦇 5:12pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @5:12 what a ilfe
	5:14pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @5:12 This pissant country couldn't stand the idea of a genuinely good person being in charge.
	🦇 5:15pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @5:14 they didn't know what they had
	5:20pm Alex In Downers Grove: Rhiannon Giddens plays banjo on the Beyoncé tune
	5:21pm TDK60: I don't care about Halftime Music Controversies, nor football! There, I said it.
	5:22pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @5:15 And those same types who said he wasn't tough enough on Russia are now begging Russia to infiltrate our government.
	🦇 5:23pm egould: Let us gaze upon the shoes.
	5:24pm luka: hello dark 1s. losing track of time over a jigsaw puzzle.
	5:24pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @5:22 To all this, I say FEH! Feh, I say!
	🦇 5:24pm Julie: ↳ TDK60 @5:21 haha it wasn't just that, overall she's gotten a lot of crap for that album. I don't know if other genres are as gatekeepy as country is. I remember how upset people were when Olivia -- an English Aussie -- won a bunch of country awards in the 70s.
	5:24pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @5:20 Rhiannon is so cool! Would love to hear those 2 talk about music
	🦇 5:24pm Julie: hi luka!
	5:25pm Asheville Jon: Julie! BIRDS!! Hello!!!
	🦇 5:26pm Julie: hi asheville jon!
	5:26pm TDK60: ↳ egould @5:23 Hello egould. At an open mic recently a guitarist played 2 instrumentals, called them "shoegaze." They had no pedals. I went up him afterward, said "No pedals?"
	🦇 5:27pm Julie: you gotta have the pedals! What else you gonna gaze at?
	5:28pm TDK60: ↳ Julie @5:24 Yeah, gatekeepers at the Borders of the Genre. Might there also be racism involved in this case? I'm a bit neutral on Beyonce. Rhiannon Giddens is great.
	🦇 5:28pm egould: ↳ Julie @5:27 Truth.
	5:29pm TDK60: ↳ Julie @5:27 He laughed.
	5:30pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Due to my timezone 2025 arrived half an hour ago - so Happy New Year everyone!
	🦇 5:30pm egould: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:30 Happy New Year!
	5:31pm TDK60: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:30 Cha Cha! Happy '25. You're in Finland?
	🦇 5:31pm Julie: hiya Cha Cha! Happy new year!
	5:31pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ egould @5:30 Hi egould, an enjoyable 2025 to you
	🦇 5:31pm he's Crafty: Thank you Julie! Thank you everybody! Happy new year! 🎆🎇 Be safe out on them streets if you dare. I'll be in bed by around 9central to wake up in time to feed the cats in the morning anyway 🤣
	5:32pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ TDK60 @5:31 Hey TDK and a happy 2025, yes, Finland indeed
	🦇 5:32pm Julie: thanks for dropping by he's Crafty!
	🦇 5:32pm Bas NL: Happy New Year Cha Cha! The Netherlands is up for 2025 in half an hour..
	5:34pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @5:31 Happy new Year Julie and so many thanks for not only the last show of 2024 but also all the ones that year. THings like Xmas, new year, and other festivities become bearable to a BahHumbug-person that I am thanks to music you play and the good people chatting.
	🦇 5:35pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:34 I'm so glad!
	5:36pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Bas NL @5:32 Happy New Year Bas, the novelty of 2025 is yet to come your way, just wait 24 minutes ;)
	🦇 5:36pm egould: ↳ Julie @5:27 On the other hand, a guitar player could be like Billy Zoom and make eye contact with the crowd and smile. What a dude.
	🦇 5:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Reminds Me of You (piano demo)" by "Elton John" I heard Elton got a treadmill for his pet rabbit for Christmas. It's a little fit bunny.
	5:39pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ egould @5:36 I have never gotten into X's albums, but for me they are the star of Decline of the Western Civilazation (the first of course) - sure there is a lot of exciting early hardcore, but X's performances are rather charismatic on that movie.
	5:40pm A2B: Hi Julie & the birds! New Years Blessings to all fellow souls! Gelukkig nieuwjaar, Bas! 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆 Been listening in since 15 minutes into start time and really loving the selections here!
	🦇 5:40pm Julie: hiya A2B! Thanks so much!
	🦇 5:40pm egould: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:39 They were pros among amateurs. A little older than the hXc groups.
	5:41pm A2B: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:39 Ha! Good one!
	5:41pm Roberto: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:39 ...this ceiling infied...
	🦇 5:41pm Bas NL: ↳ A2B @5:40 Jij ook een heel fijn nieuwjaar, A2B!
	5:42pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ egould @5:40 Pros maybe, but in a good way. Agewise, Lee Ving of Fear was no young man at the time either.
	🦇 5:42pm egould: ↳ Song: "Friday" by "Joe Jackson" Oh yes!
	5:43pm Doug Schulkind: Happy New Year, Julie. Thanks for another year of fab radio!
	🦇 5:44pm Julie: hiya Doug! Happy New Year!
	5:46pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Why did I wait until 2024 to listen to this Joe Jackson album (or any from him for that matter!) - then again I bought Moody Blues' Days of Future Passed in 1996 and gave it its first spin around the pandemic years. I. Am. S-l-o-w.
	🦇 5:47pm egould: ↳ Song: "Pages Turn" by "28th Day" Jangly 80’s! This is sooooo gooood.
	🦇 5:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Dandy" by "Les Manteez" I was feeding the monsters and missed this! I thought efd and I were the only ones with this record! I had to enter it into Discogs on my own!
	5:48pm A2B: ↳ Bas NL @5:41 Danken!
	5:52pm ?: Lovely!!
	5:52pm John sweeden: Great show!!
	🦇 5:52pm Julie: thanks John Sweeden!
	5:53pm A2B: ↳ Julie @5:27 About that non-pedal issue: Maybe they were using one of those effects filtering consoles?
	5:54pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Song: "The Modern Nothingness" by "Viola" Oh my! I really have to listen to this again, as I was on the phone when this was playing. I only remember Viola from them opening for Cranes in 2004. The record label If Society organized the gig and I got 5 tickets altogether as 5 written text codes via SMS. The Motorola I had was ancient even then, and it managed to delete THAT message. Thankfully they sent it again. Good times
	🦇 5:55pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:54 is it VYE-OLA or VEE-OLA? do you recall?
	🦇 5:55pm egould: This set is melting my ears into little puddles of joy.
	🦇 5:56pm Julie: yay!!
	5:56pm Stanley: Hi Julie. I've been listening from the start but am a bit flaked out. It's heading towards midnight here but I doubt I will see it. I've never really 'got' New Year's Eve, even when I used to spend it with friends. 'Out with the old. In with the old' is what I say! The only thing meaningful for me is that it feels that we turn a corner, what with the daylight hours and heading towards spring. As for resolutions, ha! I once saw a joke in Private Eye - two fellas at a NYE party. drink in hand etc. Goes like this - fella says "Have you made any resolutions?", the other says: "You know, cut down on the carbs and booze, do a bit more exercise..." First fella: " Haha. me neither" Hi Handy.
	5:57pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Stardust" by "The Asteroid No.4" GBV vibes here for sure
	5:57pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @5:55 I would say veeola (but the vee part is a bit short). It can be a Finnish (female first)name as well
	5:58pm Bobby: ↳ Song: "Stardust" by "The Asteroid No.4" I remember these guys, they used to be in Philly and played a bunch of shows in the late 90s
	5:58pm Asheville Jon: YAY BIRDS!!!!
	5:59pm Roberto: January 1st, 1979: a moderate earthquake strikes the San Fernando Valley. That's all I remember about New Year's '79.

	6:03pm TDK60: ↳ Stanley @6:01 Hi Stanley. There's Handy behind the bar---
	🦇 6:03pm Julie: hi Phillippe!
	🦇 6:03pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Percocet" by "Valentine & The Regard" “I scrolled through your Tumbler” would be lyrics that could not make any sense before the 21st Century
	🦇 6:04pm egould: ↳ Bas NL @6:02 Happy New Year!
	🦇 6:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @6:03 That'll do nicely.

	🦇 6:17pm Aitch: Hey Julie and crew, HNY from 2025
	6:17pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Amphetamine Logic" by "The Sisters of Mercy" Didn't they just finish their farewell tour recently?
	🦇 6:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Amphetamine Logic" by "The Sisters of Mercy" K8 just walked in and said "this song is about drugs?"
	🦇 6:18pm egould: ↳ Song: "Amphetamine Logic" by "The Sisters of Mercy" If you’re finding amphetamine logic, you’re not doing enough.
	🦇 6:18pm Aitch: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:17 Had some before singing it seems

	🦇 6:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @6:23 Somehow only a dozen clicky-stars!
	6:25pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Lithium" by "Nirvana" Nirvana's best song. Fight me.
	🦇 6:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ adamdoesit @6:25 Such a great scream.
	6:28pm Jeff Moore: Hey, Julie! Thanks for being here to accompany us through yet another awkward transitional-feeling time. (I've been listening, but not chit-chatting on the board)
	6:28pm 21: Happy New Julie! Best wishes for 2025.
	🦇 6:28pm egould: There was a time Kurt and I had the same drug dealer. Now, I wouldn’t even know where to buy drugs.
	🦇 6:30pm Julie: Hiya Jeff! Happy new year!
	6:30pm A2B: ↳ Jeff Moore @6:28 I won't argue with you about that, but "Breed" is my personal choice as their best.

	6:39pm rf: Hi Julie! Best to you and the birds in 2025. Thanks for the great music.
	🦇 6:40pm Julie: thanks for listening rf!
	6:41pm WR: Hello Julie and folks. Have had the stream playing while sorting and stacking stuff. Had no idea this hour has been drug focused. I've reached the stage where i resentfully accept prescribed and have no time for recreational or self medicating. I do have time to express how much I appreciate the WFMU DJs and the WFMU playlist playmates. Helped take the sting out of the passing year. Look forward to more in the future. Happy New Year!
	🦇 6:41pm Julie: hiya WR! happy new year!
	6:42pm Philippe: We are getting a strong thunderstorm with hail. On December 31. In Annapolis. Yikes
	🦇 6:43pm egould: ↳ WR @6:41 Happy New Year!
	🦇 6:44pm Bas NL: ↳ WR @6:41 Have a great 2025 WR!
	6:46pm Bobby: ↳ WR @6:41 See you around WR!
	🦇 6:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Celexa" by "Pizza Crunch" Had to look that one up. It's an SSRI.
	6:48pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Oh, before I forget: what a good way to continue NYE celebrations than to listen the 1967 Top Gear NYE show. Why this particular episode is especially worth a listen is because it has the last Pink Floyd session with Syd Barrett. Yes, it is also on the recent box, but this private recording has the best quality as of now unless someone takes their time machine for a trip and prevents the master being wiped by BBC. The link archive.org...
	6:49pm Roberto: I left the room for a few minutes and everything went pharmaceutical!
	6:50pm Roberto: Is this set your medication regimen for '25?
	🦇 6:50pm Dan S: I've been away most of the last hour. So, it's songs about the products from our pharma friends. Different.
	🦇 6:50pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @6:50 every single one HAHA
	6:51pm A2B: Now watching London festivities!
	6:51pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @6:50 Sounds like you're all set.
	🦇 6:52pm Dan S: ↳ Roberto @6:50 We can think of it as aspirational.
	🦇 6:53pm egould: Thanks Julie. Happy New Year to you, your birdies, and everyone listening.
	🦇 6:53pm Julie: Happy New Year everyone! see ya in '25
	6:54pm Roberto: Happy medicated New Year, all! Baiiiiiiii
	6:54pm adamdoesit: Julie, I wish (for me) that you were on all night; but more than that I wish you a happy, healthy, and bird-filled new year!
	🦇 6:54pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Mat's Prozac" by "Mice starring Julianne Regan" Good old Prozac. Is anyone still taking that one, or is it too old-school?
	🦇 6:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie! Another Dark Night Year -- getting us ready for the next! Happiest of New Year wishes, all!
	6:55pm TDK60: Thanks, DJ Julie. Best for '25.
	6:55pm WR: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @6:48 thank you for the link.
	6:56pm Hunterian: Most seasonally appropriate set ever, Julie! Happy New Year to all, and Happy Dryuary to those who celebrate! 🤪
	6:56pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: You folks in USA and UK still ain't seen nothin' yet - at least 2025! Let it be a healthy and enjoyable one for you all!
	🦇 6:56pm Bas NL: Thanks Julie! Fantastic old year's finish! Happy New Year all!
	6:56pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ WR @6:55 My pleasure, enjoy!
	6:56pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Thank you Julie, you made NYE so much better
	🦇 6:57pm Dan S: Anyway, thanks for all the music, Julie! I'm not looking forward to much in 2025, but I'm looking forward to more WFMU in general and Dark Night in particular. Happy New Year, all!
	🦇 6:57pm listener james from westwood: Julie, this show is a yearlong delight. Thanks most kindly for the musical 2024!

	6:58pm C in Thailand: Thank you, Julie! Happy New Year, everyone!
	6:58pm Bobby: Great show thanks for being here tonight!
	6:58pm WR: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @6:56 Sound quality is pretty great. 3 hour special hosted by John Peel. Floyd doing Vegetable Man at 21 minutes in.
	6:58pm Roberto: Your New Year's is for the birds!
	🦇 6:59pm Dan S: See ya next year!
	6:59pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, Julie! Happy new year!
	6:59pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ WR @6:58 Yes, I was pleasantly surprised this exists, the box set used rather poor sources sadly:(
	6:59pm A2B: Thanks, Julie! Happy 2025 to you & the birds & fellow souls!
	🦇 7:00pm Mxter Baba: Thanks, Julie! Happy 2025 to you and yours!
